Listening Comprehension Test (І семестр)
For 5 th form students
Mark And His Friends
Hi, my name is Mark and I’m from London, England. London's great! It's got a fantastic zoo and lots of amazing museums and parks. You can do lots of things here. I usually go to a football match on Saturday afternoons. My friend Rob plays for the school football team. He's brilliant!
My friends and I sometimes go to the ice rink or the cinema and every Wednesday we go to an indoor swimming pool. Rob doesn't like swimming under water and I don't like diving.
We’ve got a new girl in our class. Her name is Kim. She's from London but her mother is from Scotland and her father is from Wales. A lot of Londoners have got parents from other parts of Great Britain and from other countries. Rob's dad is Italian and Rob often visits his grandparents in Italy. Lucky him!
My neighbour Jenny doesn't go to our school now. She's in Australia! Her dad's got a new job in Melbourne. She doesn't write letters to us - she sends emails or makes video calls!
